What is the frequency of A1 in the next generation? p2w11 + pqw12 pt + 1 = p2w11 + 2pqw12 + q2w22 What is the change in frequency of A2 per generation? After some algebra Dp = pt + 1 - pt = p / w (pw11 + qw12 - w ) With this equation we can substitute values for relative fitness and analyze various cases of selection.

Overdominance/Heterozygote Superiority Genotype A1A1 A1A2 A2A2 Fitness 1 + s 1 1 + t S = - 0.02 t = - 0.04 Stable equilibrium is reached A1 Genetic diversity is maintained
Viable allele did not fix in the population Mukai and Burdick 1958
Underdominance Genotype A1A1 A1A2 A2A2 Fitness 1 + s 1 1 + t S = 0.01 t = 0.02 Unstable equilibrium A1 A1 maybe fixed or lost from the population
Frequency-Dependent Selection Allele frequencies in a population remain near an equilibrium because selection favors the rarer allele. As a result, both alleles are maintained in the population. Perissodus
